ABC WIVES VS. Ph.D. WIVEC
Young women of today are not prepared for marriage when they graduate from college, according to Albert Edward Wiggam, the gentleman who undertakes daily to "explore our minds" from the pages of the morning paper. Mr. Wiggam, who answers any and all questions "from the strictly scientific point of view," modestly limits his qualifications for this employment by telling us that moral questions cannot be decided with absolute accuracy. Such simple problems as this, however, he evidently feels entirely competent to settle.
The woman who goes directly from college into marriage has a narrow outlook on life, Mr. Wiggam assures us. He recommends, instead, as preparation, "a stroll along the highway of human understanding, on which men and women working together intellectually walk as a matter of course."
The ordinary observer might be forgiven for thinking that college is the very place where men and women work together intellectually. Only one who has been blessed with the stricly scientific point of view can be expected to realize the superior advantages of the girl who leaves high school to spend her days clerking in a store or gossiping over a bridge table. The rest of us still eling to the old-fashioned notion that college opens a rather helpful guidebook to that "highway of human understanding."
If familiarity breeds contempt what about a five-hour course?
JUSTICE
An editorial quoted on this page today begins, "How swift is justice—when the defendant is poor!"
To what extent do the people of our country realize how true this statement is? And do we really give any thought to its seriousness?
Compare the case of this poor foreigner with that of Samuel Insull. The foreign farmer is as human as Samuel Insull yet because Insull is wealthy his trial probably will drag to lengths it is impossible to estimate. It is true, Insull is not a murderer; but there are murder trials not only on record, but also in progress now, which will take months and possibly years to come to an end and then the guilty person, will probably fare much better than the poor foreigner. Only recently a case came up in Kansas City concerning a woman who unquestionably had killed her husband, but who was acquitted because of the eloquence of her famous attorney and because delay had dimmed the evidence.
EDUCATION AND UNEMPLOYMENT
A recent book by Edward Clague and Webster Powell, "Ten Thousand Out of Work," makes a study to ascertain some of the factors in personality and circumstance that have played a part in the fate of those who have suffered in the collapse of industry.
and brings out several significant points on the relation of education and employment.
Education has no bearing on the length of the unemployment period, judging from this study, but higher education pays dividends not only in higher wages but also in greatly increased steadiness of work. Education has an influence on wages, especially among the whites. It is shown that college graduates average weekly earnings more than 60 per cent higher than those of men with any formal education, and if allowance could be made for the greater regularity of employment of the former, the differential would be much larger.
The more highly educated men were found to be attached to those industries and positions in which employment was much steadier. Subsidiary to education is training for the job, especially the development of skill, which brings greater stability of employment.
The conclusion is drawn that no great improvement in the conditions affecting unemployment can be brought about by the individual worker. It is time this fact should be impressed on the person himself, so that he will not allow his morale to be destroyed by circumstances over which he has no control.

Our Contemporaries
On Sunday William Jasinski stabbed Vincent Demesek, fellow-farm hand, with a pen-knife. On Tuesday, Jasinski was sentenced to life imprisonment at Jackson State Prison.
HOW SWIFT IS JUSTICE—when the fender is poor.
PRISON OR EDUCATION . . . ?
Michigan Daily.
Significant is the fact that the case of social retribution was so quickly accomplished, but more significant is the problem that men like Jasinski present. The deed was an impulsive one; Jasinski, although a resident of this country for over thirty years, knows but little English. Explaining his deed to Sheriff's officers, he said, "He boss me around. He milk my cow. I kill him." Simple, animal explanation. Not malice, not murderous or criminal nature was responsible for the deed, but sheer ignorance. Unaware of the restraints of civilization, Jasinski, annoyed by the presence of Deneskes, sought to remove him with animal directness.
It is striking that one so uncivilized as he is living in the midst of us.
Throughout the period of his detention prior to the trial, Jasinaki seemed a perplexed observer of the machinery by which justice was to be done. He stood dumbly mute while he learned from the lips of his interpreter that he was to spend the rest of his natural life in prison. It is likely that he understood little of the procedure, or that he understood that the penalty was intended to serve as a punishment for his
deed. Certainly his knowledge was so limited that he was not restrained from the murder by a thought of consequence.
At any rate, he will know better next time. It would be impossible to do anything else with Jasmiis, legally. However, it does seem absurd that he should, like a dog who has displeased its owner and been chastised, be penalized in such a manner. What he needs is education.
And so this human animal was known by a name until he displeased his masters, when his name was changed to a number. Otherwise, everything will be the same.
GRADE-CURRENCY DEFLATION
Oregon Daily Emerald.
Where is the student who doesn't look for his grade the moment a paper is handed back? Assured that he is on the upper side of the border line, where is the student who carefully peruses his work in an endeavor to prepare 'ar the next time?'
Believing that the temptation to toss a paper aside after a perfunctory glance at the grade is rather general, Dean Allen, head of the journalism school, will initiate a plan whereby no grades are marked but students are asked to read carefully all notes made by correctors. He has some valid reasons to show that such a system would help students to study returned papers more carefully, and provide a real incentive to improvement.
The dean is quite confident that a new deal in grades would be a healthy tonic for the University. "We, the faculty, sometimes regard grades almost as currency," was one startling statement of his, in launching his no-grade program for elementary journals.
The mass of students in the lower bracket will be quite inclined to agree that the kind of grade-currency handed out in many classes does build up a small social elite, which carries with it entirely too much prestige. "A" students, on the other hand, may shed a few tears for the passing of high marks. Quite probably they were the very ones who read their books with pride and felt all in mind the big section of the class which makes up the average. He believes that this group will be benefited while the extremes have nothing to lose.
The mere fact that Dean Allen is advancing the plan is not a guarantee of its success, but at least the step is a bold one, and, seemingly, in the direction of real liberalization in grading. The experiment lasts only the rest of this term, but, if successful the dean will teach it to all of his teaching career." It is within the realm of possibility that when students come back next fall they may find themselves working entirely for improvement and not for grades.
